Lifespan development and communication – 555101 Individual development narrative Rajbir Kaur 02/05/16 (1877) Introduction One way of looking at human development is through domains of development and how they interrelate. Sigleman and Rider (2003) define development as the systematic changes and continuities that occur between conception and death in an individual. One approach to examining human development is through an individual narrative by integrating theories of development. In
Lifespan is the period during which something is functional, so in humans, lifespan is the period from birth and death. As humans, we break it down into different phases, this would include infants, toddlers, preschooler, school age, adolescents, early adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. This shows that we are changing as we move as a society as the life expectancy increases and children are aging differently. Most known as human development, which is the action of developing to maturity
Research has indicated that regardless of theory, there are six stages of lifespan development. These are: infancy, childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle age, and older age. Lifespan development refers to changes that take place due to age, throughout life. There are three main areas these changes will alter as a result of age progression and they are biological, cognitive and psychosocial (Zastrow & Ashman, 2016, p. 77). This would mean every change to our abilities, and physical bodies
Overview/Synthesis of information across the lifespan The three stages; germinal, embryonic, and fetal, during the prenatal development happen during when a zygote turns into a baby. Attachments or emotional bonds start to form with caregivers early on and promote a successful growth in a child’s life successfully. During the first year of life it is so important to take time to establish and shape the child’s ability to bond and create attachments in relationships in future meetings in life. During
While growing up my family impacted my behavior and human develop based on the major domains of the Human Development and the Lifespan Theory. The major domains of the human developments are Physical/Biological System, Cognitive System, Emotional System, and Social Systems. Each domain 's focus on things which shapes an individual life. Physical/biological system domain focuses on the genetical foundation of a person. For example, the changes in body weight or appearance; however, this could affect
Lifespan development occurs from birth to death. First, there are birth stages that each individual undergoes: germinal, embryonic, fetal. I was born early, however, this did not affect my future development. As I grew up, I got taller, my hair lightened and then darkened again. I also grew stronger as my physical development progressed. My brain grew, my senses and motor skills heightened, and my health fluctuated as I went through life. While I was physically developing, I was also cognitively
Lifespan development is “the field of study that examines patterns of growth, change, and the stability in behavior that occur throughout the entire life span” (Feldman, 2014, pg 5). The biological inheritance from my parents, the environments I have walked through, and my increase awareness of spirituality have molded me into a great person. Thus, “development requires that we look at the joint efforts of the interaction of heredity and environment, and how, in the end underlie human behavior”
Lifespan development is a field of study that examines patterns of growth, change, and stability in behavior that occur throughout the entire life span. The purpose of field being that one can determine the average maturation levels both physically and mentally in humans being born today (Feldman, 2006). This paper will delve into the human development of a twenty-one year old fictional character named Sara Jones, in a way that is similar to people who are living today. Sara’s life will
Human development can be defined as growth and change over time that enables an individual to adapt more effectively in their environment (Reference this). The major domains of development include physical, cognitive, emotional and moral. The aim of this paper is to analyse the influences on lifespan development from the time of conception through to 18 years of age. This can be achieved by understanding the domains of development and relating the theories of lifespan development to real life examples
